Pretty in Pink (DVD)

Pretty in Pink (1986) starring Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, Andrew McCarthy, Harry Dean Stanton, Annie Potts, James Spader. Poor girl Andie (Ringwald) has a date for the prom with rich kid Blane (McCarthy). Meanwhile, her friend Duckie (Cryer), who has been in love with her for years, is driven bonkers by the fact that she's going out with one of the rich crowd (and not him). Spader plays the villain, the rich guy that Andie won't go out with and who, as a consequence, can't bear to see her happy. The movie is rich with '80s nostalgia for those who lived through the era. And it has a happy ending. Grade: B
